WEIRD BUT TRUE
A Chinese woman sued her husband for bigamy – after he married another woman on the Internet.
Lin, from Harbin, noticed her hubby, Zhang, spending long periods at the computer, and investigated. She learned he had “wed” another woman in cyberspace – and even had a virtual child.
She sued him for bigamy and was granted a divorce, but the judge turned down her plea for emotional damage, since the new marriage was not legal.

A grandma who waited four years for an appointment with a top ear doctor arrived at his office to find out he was dead.
Janet Warnes of West Yorkshire, England, said Dr. Iain Fraser had died two years earlier, but no one bothered telling her.
“I was starting to think I might be dead before I saw a doctor – but I never expected him to be,” she quipped.

A bizarre new exhibit in England shows the evil sides of flowers and plants.
It’s the Poison Garden at Alnwick Castle, which features 50 dangerous varieties, including nightshades, foxgloves, opium poppies and mind-altering magic mushrooms.
“Young people are more fascinated by what plants can kill you than what plants are good for you,” said Jane, Duchess of Northumberland, the curator.

The debating society of Oxford University must be really hard up.
After such distinguished guests as Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama, they’ve tapped porn legend Ron Jeremy – star of 1,700 adult films, including “Bang Along With Ron” – to speak.
“Ron is the biggest and, apparently, the best in the business, so I’m sure he’ll have some fascinating stories to tell,” explained Oxford Union librarian Vladimir Bermant.

A gang of thieves called the “bathroom bandits” is loose in Germany.
Cops say they enter public rest rooms, peer under stalls to see whose pants are down, then quickly reach under and steal their wallet.
The victims sometimes see what’s going on, but stumble and fall over their pants as they try to give chase. Officers hope to flush out some suspects.
